Mr.. Sherman's Southern trip has made
Mr.. Blaine little uneasy. Mr.. BlaIne's
friends have been pretending all along.
that he is not anxious for the Presidential
nomination OF his party in 1888, but the
Western trip which he is now making is
pretty clear indication that this pre-
tense is a sham. Mr.. Blaine is beginning
to see that Mr.. Sherman Is going to be a
very strong cand Idate, and that it will
take a great deal OF hard work to beat
HIM. He gave out when he started on his
Western trip that he was going to the
Indian Territory to look after some busI-
ness matters. 1t Is worthy of notice,
however, that he is making the most OF
opportunities which present themselves
to strengthen his hold upon his party.
Not long ago the leading Republican
paper of st. Louis stated that the Repub-
lican party could not win in the next ma
tional contest with Blaine as its standard.
bearer. On Thursday Mr.. Blaine stopped
at that city and made little speech and
held a reception. DO not these things in
dictate his purpose? If he were not a
candidate it is hardly probable that
he would bother himself with speech
making and receptions.
the prominence which Mr.. Sherman
gained as a candidate by his Southern
trip warned Mr.. Blaine that he couldn't
afford to remain quietly In Maine while
his willy opponent was making speeches
and having them telegraphed over the
country. He considers the West his
stronghold, and if he loses his strength
there his chance for getting the nomIna-
tion is gone. Several OF the leading Re-
publican papers of the West are out.
spoken in their opposition to him, and
more OF them will, in all proba-
bility, abandon him by the time
the contest for the nomination is
fairly inaugurated. He has no time.
therefore, to waste. Mr.. Sherman has
begun his canvass for the nomination
early and Mr.. Blaine must begin his also.
More speeches may be expected from him
before he returns from the West.
1t is gratifying that no Democrat is
drumming the country. The Democratic
mind appears TO be satisfied about two
things-frst, that Mr.. Cleveland will be
renomInated, and, second, that he Will be
reelected.

/ The American people are thoroughly in
earnt st IN their protests against the Irish
crimes bill which the Salisbury govern
ment is trying to force through Parlia-
ment, They regard the bill as a blot
upon the civilization Of the age and as
direct attack upon human liberty. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that State
Legislatures are protesting against the
bill, and that public meetings
are being called in different
parts of the country to condemn it.
Il is not sympathy for Ireland alone that
is at the bottom OF these extraordinary
demonstrations. There is deep seated
feeling that England by the proposed
legislation is moving away from consti-
tutional liberty and towards despotsm.
The contest that's going on in the Eng
lish House OF Commons is, therefore, one
in which the whole civilized world is in
terested.
What is it that it is proposed to do by
the crimes bill9 Why, nothing less than
to deprive Irishmen, VINO may be
charged with certain grave offenses, OF
the right of trial by jury The bill also
gives magistrates the right TO hear star
chamber testimony against unaccused
persons, and permits the transfer OF per-
sons charged with certain grave offenses
from Ireland to England for trial.
The government has a majority OF nlne-
ty in the House OF Commons, but 1t Is
difficult to understand how this majority
can be held together in support OF this
bill. Signs of dissatisfaction have Rp-
peared in the ranks OF the governments
supporters, but 1t is impossible to say
whether it will manifest itself in open re-
fusal to obey the will of the leaders or
not. Extraordinary efforts are being
made to force every one OF the govern
menps forces to stand squarely together
and vote for the bill, and these efforts
may be successful to the extent OF getting
ma jOrity for it.
If the bill becomes a law it is not i'm
probable that il will be the destruction OF
the Salisbury government. Public senti-
ment in England will hardly sustain it,
and the enforcement of such law may
drive Ireland to the point Of revolt
1t is barely possible that the bill may
prove to be the way TO home rule. The
results that may flow from it may be so
different from what the government hopes
for that England may conclude that 700
years is long enough to prove that coer-
cion is failure in Ireland and that the
time has come to let the Irish people man
age their own local affairs.

Some years ago rich man who lived

not made acquainted, he wished to post.
pone payment. He consulted a lawyer
as 10 how he might carry out his purpose
The lawyer advised him to allow himself
TO be sued, promising to have the case
continued from time TO time until he
should be ready to pay. The advice WAS
followed and the case was kept in court
three years, at the end OF which time
judgment W as confessed, and the money
with interest was paid. This was an
evasion OF law.
Another rich man, who lived in South
east Georgia city, made a will, conform
ing strictly to the requirements OF law.
When be died some OF the heirs were dis
satisfied with what the will gave them.
They consulted a lawyer as to how they
might obtain greater share OF the prop
erty. The lawyer advised them To con-
test the will. The advice was accepted,
a long and expensive suit ensued, and the
will was broken. This was another
evasion OF law.
These two cases are types OF many
that crowd the courts. 1t is the tendency
OF the times TO evade the laws. When
Congress or the Legislature enacts law
thOre is nearly always somebody who i'm
mediately begins to seek ways OF eyading
H.. Attempts to evade tho local option
law in this state are all the time being
made. and no doubt plans are being lald
TO evade the interstate commerce law.
The records OF the criminal courts
abound in the boldest kind Of attempts at
evasion.
IL may be true that the laws need sim
plifying, or that there are too many laws.
IL b. certainly true that they are not
obsyed az they should be.

Senator Hampton now rides regularly the
heavy bay mare with which Secretary Lamar
began his first reforms in the Interior De-
partment. The Secretary found seven horses
In the department stables and sold them, as
he did not believe the bureau heads and him
self had any right to rlde at government eX-
pense. The Secretary then went to Cabinet
meetings on the street cars. One day he
slipped, stepped in a pool OF water, caught
cold and was shut indoors four days at a loss
to the United States of the value of his SER
vices. to wit, Sl02. He then bought a riding
horse, bay mare with big wen on her
belly. For a time all went well. The Secre-
tary took long rides in town ana out, but one
day the mare SHE'D at q dog, threw her mas
ter, and he refused to ride her again. she

DIR. McGlynn on the Wrong Track

DIR. McGlynn on the Wrong Track.
1t is not probable that the Rev, DR.. Nc
Glynn will be reinstated as pastor OF st.
Stephens parish, although some Of his
admirers think he will. 1t Is even doubt
full whether 1T is his purpose to try to
become reconciled TO the Roman Catholic
Churcn.& His lecture at the New York
Academy OF Music on Tuesday night was
a rather emphatic assertion that he had
mapped out new course for himself, and
that the church must approve of the land
theory of Henry George, which he is now
engaged in advocating-beioTe there can
be any reconciliation between the
church and him. AS 1t is
not within the bounds Of probability
that The church will ever sanction
such a ridiculous theory-a theory
| which rests mainly upon unsupporte
asserlions-the chances are that the doc
tors connection with the church is about
as close now as it will ever be again.
The lecture which DR.. McGlynn de-
| livered on Tuesday night, aud which was
| so enthusiastically applauded by his ad.
mirers, is spoken of by some of the New
York papers as a remarkably intellectual
effort. 1t certainly had some of the
| features OF great Grafton, but as an
| attempt to show the correctness Of MIR.
| Georges land theory it was failure. 1t
was not nearly as strong a presentation
| of that theory as Mr.. George himself
makes, and MIR. Georges presentation OF
| it is too muddled and weak to command
| general respect.
| There is no doubt that DR.. McGiynn is
perfectly sincere. He has always been
great friend OF the poor, and his sym.
pathies have been and are now strongly
enlisted in their behalf. He thinks that
| this land theory, if adopted, would
be beneficial to that class. He has sim.
ply permitted his symDathies TO lead
astray his judgment.
1t is stated that he intends to make a
lecture tour and advocate this theory.
AS he is a very we'll advertised man the
tour will be successful, doubtless, from
a money point OF view, but il he hopes to
convert any considerable number of peo.
